I have just put a new tyre on my car as there was a nail in it last Sat (?125). I have found another nail today same shiny one in another tyre at the back. This seems very strange within less than a week. Does anyone know if anyone is doing this as there are no nails in the road where I park. Silvester Rd SE22

Bad luck, it's a real pain. I've had one in the last year, my partner has had two. Pretty sure its just carelessly discarded nails rather than sabotage though.


Mine was repairable, cheaply. My partner's was a replacement job, as it was near the edge. If yours is in the main tread area, hope it will be repairable this time.

We had a tyre slashed on Upland Road last summer (and noticed at least three others on the same day). Also smashed mirrors on occasion.


?125 sounds steep? Never paid more than ?70 for a top brand (e.g. Michelin).


The chap at Melbourne tyres told me he gets a load of visits including from the police - reckons there's a lot of deliberate sabotage.

As a biker this could be really dangerous for us, and my husband and I always always always - when we see a nail or screw in the road - go pick it up and chuck it in the bin for the sake of all vehicles. Would recommend everyone does this; you will never know the damage and maybe even lives you could be saving by preventing an accident. Just pleeeease do that if you can. Such nails and screws are especially visible around building sites.

    • tried the traditional beef empanada yesterday and it was amazing honestly, hotter and better than the other place (no offence!). I really don’t see the issue with having more than one of the same type of shop – we’ve got Indian restaurants, two supermarkets, two cheese shops, two pizza joints, even two paint shops! So I don’t get what all the fuss is about. Good food is good food, and there’s room for everyone.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
